  Since my teenage years, I have always loved Indian cuisine, having had wonderful dinners at summer camp by a delightful equestrian man from India. Sadly, I have been mostly disappointed... read more over the years by so many restaurants and assuming my recollection was only an imagined delight from my youth, gave up the quest long ago . But when an old friend from my youth reached out and asked me to have lunch with him at an Indian restaurant, even tho it is 2 1/5 hours from my home, I of course said yes and am so happy I did. It was like going back in time. Every dish fragrant and engagingly different, the calm unpretentious, comfortable atmosphere and really pleasant staff all took me back in time. Even with the 2 1/2 hour drive I'll be time traveling, to this delightful restaurant.

And the port was a lovely end to this most enjoyable dining experience. Heartfelt congratulations (and thanks) to the owner and chef at this colorful establishment!
